Note
The plural is regular, but it can name two different birds: the European robin, Erithacus rubecula, and the American robin, Turdus migratorius, which share a name and not a species. Capitalized, the Robins is a nickname for several sports teams, and their fans and players are robins too. The locust-tree toxin of the same spelling is uncountable and takes no plural.
